    Preliminary Description: 

    Dense sediment without structures and with few clasts (millimeter and sub millimeter) up to 11 cm. From 11 cm to the core’s bottom the sediment is laminated. The thicknesses of the laminae are irregular, from millimeter to centimeter. There are rare clasts millimeter. Between 65 and 75 cm the sediment is less dense and homogeneous, without structures.
